  1. Yoshida should be our DH and Anthony should be our LF. And we might still have Duran.
  2. I agree about 95%. IRT to 'I don't care', I don't think you base your decisions on what might happen. If we don't trade for SS, and Monasterio collapses, and IKF, Arias and Story don't work out, then them's the breaks. The prices might be exorbitant, but I'd still have all the phone lines open. I'd be real comfortable to sit back until 5:00 and see which teams still don't have a date for the dance.
  3. I thought he might morph into our closer as well. He had a .570 OPS in relief. We have a very good BP, but it's always nice to have someone in reserve.
  4. Allen should've been a 1st ballot HOF, but some of these writers know nothing about baseball. Minoso should've been elected earlier. He had a 130 OPS+, a GG, and was one of the Cubans that were larger than life with great style points. I think I read that Minoso is the player that Clemente wanted to be. I like Tiant for the Hall, but he is marginal. Evans should be a lock.
  5. I could bet on them. They could probably be a little low-end by playoff caliber teams, but I don't think they'd be black holes. If I had a straight choice between those three, or a Story/Mayer combo, right now I would choose those three.
  6. They forced me into retirement. Pencil-sharpening is a skill that requires fine motor control, and I was lone surviving accountant on this planet that liked using pencils. Can't get a sharp pencil if you have wounds on your fingertips.
  7. IIRC, it was a HBP, a walk, a sac, and a WP & PB that led to two runs. That's the sort of funny stuff that goes your way when you're running well.
  8. If someone wanted a one-year 2B or SS, I wouldn't say no. But all the thoughts about acquiring a SS, so that they can move him to 2b, because they aren't really a SS, doesn't strike me as intuitive.
  9. There is always a future out there. The only time you lose the future is by mortgaging it for the present.
  10. And no one is trading a top-tier prospect for 2 months of anyone.
  11. I noticed that your post lacked specifics on the target.
  12. That's probably the way 99% of the fans feel. I wouldn't trade Arias for Abrams, Neto, Pena or Goodman. But I wouldn't be offended. And if Yordie was available, I'd drive him to Houston myself.
  13. The hype machine are places like BA, who earn a living rating players. IRT KC, Mayer and Anthony, it feels like you might be missing someone. Oh yeah, you are missing: Ceddanne Abreu Tolle Early Bennett Whitlock Disparaging prospects is always easier when you ignore the successful ones
  14. I've seen young teams come and go without ever jelling. This really looks like a real team. I can see a few holes, but I don't want to mess with the chemistry.
  15. We got a few things. Someone with an initial arm ailment which might have been foreseeable. Someone who hurt himself diving for a GB, which is unforeseeable. And someone who turned 33, seemingly a death knell for players, with all due respect to our fans who want to sign 32 year old players to long-term contracts.
  16. The fun part about fans' adamancy in general is that half of us a bat, half want a pitcher, some want a 2B, some a SS, and some a LF. And some want a lefty and some want a righty. I'm will to wait to see what happens and how it works out.
  17. It's impossible to know what makes sense without knowing their game plan. They might be satisfied with Seigler. They might be planning on a RH LF/DH, moving Romy back to 2B. They might not believe in Garcia. Before this year, Garcia had a .709 OPS with very little variance. Maybe he's broken out, maybe not. His production has flatted out over his last 17 games. Maybe his .414 OPS at the Fens concerns them.
  18. Just me looking at the minutiae: Garcia is no longer a capable 2B. If the NYY move Jazz to 3B to accommodate Garcia, it'll be interesting. Garcia has only 1.3 years left, while 4.3 years left. The RS likely have an opinion on Early that suggests some issues. I had recommended trading him last year since his production out-paced his previous profile..
  19. Some RS fans change their opinions all the time. When a guy has a 3.0 bWAR in his first full season, you should be encouraged, not discouraged.
  20. That's all that counts. Everyone seems to like Eyanson, but it's possible that the Tigers far prefer the LA guys. Sometimes we get too deep into the weeds.
  21. Except that Ceddanne was a good players two years ago, and a very good last year.
